Weekend trips in Italy

I have taken a lot of weekend trips to different places in Italy during my stay, including Venice, Cinque Terre, & Rome. Below are some pictures from Venice. As most people know, I had a pretty rough start in this program. Between having my laptop & passport stolen, spraining my ankle, heat rash & having my car stolen back home it has been an interesting time. I felt like Venice was the real start of my trip, it was the first place where I was really excited about being there and in awe of how beautiful it was. It is such a unique place, where else has water for streets?? I also fell in love with the glass jewelry and probably bought more than I should have; it was so pretty.
